This manual contains only eight steps, each of which has a detailed description. By learning how to draw an elephant’s head with the help of this instruction, you will be able to depict it as the main subject of your drawing, and you can also draw a whole elephant and depict this animal in a natural landscape or complement your picture with other animals. The elephant is the largest animal living on land. Elephants live in India and Africa, in places where many tropical forests grow.
The elephant is huge and very heavy, although it eats only plant foods such as leaves and tree branches, grass or fruits. The most amazing part of the body of an elephant is its trunk, it is very mobile and unusually strong. They can pluck grass and branches, drag heavy logs, and also pick up a small pebble from the ground. An adult elephant can take a lot of water into its trunk and put it in its mouth for drinking or watering itself, as if from a shower. The trunk is also a weapon of defense and attack. The elephant is so strong that in nature he has no enemies, no one dares to attack him.
